Going back to Richard Sutton's understanding of the philosophy of the bitter lesson, and then being like, actually, I need a much more scalable system, like a neural network, that in principle works.

And then having some deep believers that can actually execute on that mission and make it work.

So that's the 10x solution.

I think the tough thing with timelines of self-driving, obviously, is that no one has created self-driving.

So it's not like, what do you think is the timeline to build this bridge?

Well, we've built a million bridges before.

Here's how long that takes.

No one has built autonomy.

It's not obvious.

Some parts turn out to be much easier than others.

So it's really hard to forecast.

You do your best based on trend lines and so on, and based on intuition.

But that's why fundamentally it's just really hard to forecast this.

Yes, some things turn out to be much harder and some things turn out to be much easier.

Yeah, I would say like, what's easy to say is that this problem is tractable and that's an easy prediction to make.

It's tractable.

It's going to work.

Yes.

It's just really hard.

Some things turn out to be harder than some things turn out to be easier.
